Don't care - as I am sure they would feel if I was thinking of reproducing again. . .

My husband used to do this all the time - now we gang up and get our teenage daughters!

Chocolate - might help explain question 9.

11. Ever had a colon cleansing?

I was kidnapped once and taken aboard a UFO - they didn't call it this, but it was darn close! {see question 7 - Did I get you?}

We have pizza every Friday - sometimes out, sometimes in - then I usually take my son to Mickey Dees once a week for lunch if he has been good. And maybe once a month my hubby and I get to go out w/o the kids - otherwise only for special occasions (or when our power goes out!)

Who cares! Roses are roses!

8. You are walking across the street, you are not quite halfway when a speeding car comes. . .you have to run to get out of the way, which direction do you run?

Probably would depend which lane the speeding car is in! But most likely forward.

9. Tell us about a time when you were invited over somewhere and had the most awful time.

Hmmm.. Not really sure I have had an awful time anywhere - but we did have guests over once - and my husband had made some homemade spaghetti sauce (there was just the 4 of us) and the other wife loaded up her plate - hardly leaving enough for the rest of us - and then announced she didn't like it! Can I say that they weren't invited back??

10. You open your front door and their is a box with a puppy in it. . . what do you do?

Slam it quick before the two dogs that I have eat it! - no just kidding - but since we do already have 2 other dogs, I am sure that we would look for a good home for it - even though I would love to keep it!

Thursday Thunks 2-12-2009



I found this new meme and it looked like fun! If you want to play along go here.


1. You are driving down the road and there is a puddle in the road. A big puddle. Not one that will really wreck your car or anything, but a big puddle. There is no other cars in front of you or behind you - do you drive through the puddle or drive around it? I would probably drive around it - with my luck it would be really deep and would be the one that would give me a flat tire!



2. Go to Google Images, type in any word that comes to mind and post the 1st picture you see.


Can you guess the word I typed? I played with my son for about an hour earlier - and he is still at it!
3. A college calls you up and says that you have been selected to take get any degree that you want on their dollar.... what do you choose? I would have to say masters in library science... I have been toying with this idea lately!



4. Are you blogging on a laptop or desktop? Desktop



5. Which store, excluding a grocery store, do you shop at most often? Probably Target!



6. My daughters tried out for the school musical last night. Were you ever in a school play/musical? Which one? I was actually in a school musical - Oklahoma - just a townsperson though - but I was also in two plays - Arsenic and Old Lace (I was the old lady) and Beautiful Beulah Belle - I was Beulah Belle!


7. I read yesterday that a school PTA group wants to try to ban white bread, cakes, brownies or any other "treat" from their lunch menus... plus make kids' lunchboxes brought from home not include any "junk food". Thoughts on that one? I grew up on sack lunches - and I brought a ho-ho or something every day - and I think I turned out just fine. Moderation is the key! But limits need to come from home - not school.



8. How many people can your kitchen table seat? 4 comfortably, but we do have 5 chairs if we need them!



9. What time is it right now? It is 4:52- time to go start dinner!



10. Walk out the front door of your house/apartment, turn right, walk 2 blocks. What do you see? Well, first I have to cut through some people's yards, because at the end of the block you either have to turn right or left - so after two blocks I would see some medical office buildings and some new condos - with lots of trees behind them.
This was fun! Go on over to Thursday Thunks and play along!
